  • Robert Velarde

cool and nice place to visit during the summer. Winter time and near Christmas has nice lights and a very festive feel to it. my complaint is understandable, but I don’t like that late at night (around 9-10) the bathroom is closed. There should be at least some place for people to use the restroom.

  • Juan Ramos

I had rained earlier in the day and it impacted our ability to ice skate at the park. Luckily, we were able to visit a Coca-Cola marketing stand for some free hats and enjoy some of the food stands in the cooler weather. Bathrooms were kept clean and we were able to park nearby for a low rate.

Went to Discovery Green for the first time. Was hoping to ice skate- but you need reservations and it was a 3 hour wait. . The outside space is good and there was a movie on the lawn. Parking is challenging. There is a picnic area and playgrounds. The kids enjoyed it and it is pet friendly.

Discovery Green is a must-visit spot for locals and tourists alike. One of the best place in the heart of Houston surrounded by high rise buildings. A true downtown attraction and the best place to spend fun time with your family. Great place to entertain your children.

  • Kara Rivera

Brought my family to ice skating in the park. This was our first visit and really enjoyed the area. We plan to return especially when it's hot and they can enjoy the playground with splash pads. Very nice neighborhood with many hotels & restaurants to choose from. More

I love this park. It’s full of family oriented things, full of things for kids to do but also it’s great for a romantic walk and copping a squat in the grass. Great food trucks and vendors are never far away it there are places to eat and get drinks from too. Love it!

Nice seating around play area and love the trees. A gelato cart was there and the bathrooms are clean and supplied.Some dogs were off leash which made it difficult to enjoy dog area with my puppy. The play area was clean and my grand daughter had so much fun.

It was a nice vibe for Thursday night. Blues show was going on live music was nice. Although there's signs that say no scooters, they just about run you over so be careful. When it's dark, be careful walking, trip hazards.
